How it started

Shally's story

Founded by Shally, a lifelong scoop enthusiast, who started hand-churning ice cream in her home kitchen long before opening a small neighborhood counter. The same slow-churned recipes are still used today, batch by batch.

  1. 01

    A home kitchen start

    Shirley churned her first batches for family and neighbors.

  2. 02

    A counter of her own

    Word spread, and a small neighborhood shop followed.

  3. 03

    Same recipes, today

    Every tub is still slow-churned in small batches by hand.

Questions, answered

Anything else? Send us a message.

Do you have vegan or dairy-free options?

Yes. Our Coconut Mango Sorbet is vegan and dairy-free, and we're always working on new dairy-free flavors. Look for the tag on each flavor card.

Can I place a pickup order ahead of time?

Absolutely. Use the order form with your preferred flavors and pickup time and we'll have it ready for you.

Do you cater events?

Yes, we cater birthdays, graduations, and office parties with pints, cones, or a full scoop bar. Share your event date and guest count and we'll follow up with options.

Are any flavors nut-free?

Several flavors are made without nuts, but our kitchen handles nuts, so we can't guarantee a fully nut-free environment. Flavors containing nuts are clearly tagged.

Is there parking nearby?

There's a small lot behind the shop and metered street parking out front.
